Ataribox hits the pause button on its crowdfunding campaign

Atari was supposed to start taking preorders along with launching its crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo today for its new Ataribox console. However, it seems to have hit an unspecified snag and in an email announced that the campaign will be on hold, with more details to come.

“Because of one key element on our checklist, it is taking more time to create the platform and ecosystem the Atari community deserves,” Atari said in a statement. “Building Ataribox is incredibly important to us and we will do whatever it takes to be sure it is worth the wait.”
